   Service was very slow. They were not even very busy. Our server was managing too many tables. Ordered veggie enchiladas but I hate mushrooms so I asked her to substitute chicken for the mushroom. She never told me it would cost more. The dish ended up costing $21. $5 for a breast of chicken and there wasn’t even that much chicken in the dish! There are other chicken dishes on the menu that cost much less. She should’ve told me up front. She acted like she hated her job. Never brought water. Had to wait like 10 minutes for a straw with my drink. They’ve lost a customer over $5 and I will share with everyone I know. Restaurant needs some help.

   Hello, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We strive to WOW our guests every time with our menus, service and atmosphere and we are very sorry to hear that we missed the mark on your recent visit. In cases of protein substitution, there is a price increase and apologize for the server failing to communicate this. If you wouldn't mind sharing your email, I would love to send you a gift card to give us another shot and make things right. Will Gray Assistant General Manager

   We had a great server. But the hostesses at front desk were not very friendly, no smiles, and felt like we were bothering them. We came to celebrate a birthday which we mentioned when making the reservation, and no mention of it. We also didn’t ask for a dessert menu though. Food was OK. Not our favorite items. We’ve been there before and it was awesome. Tonight was OK… just not as great as our first time.

   Hi Jody! Thank you so much for the review. We need this type of feedback in our efforts to always improve. The guest experience starts and ends at the host stand. If we are not exuding hospitality from the get-go, we are not doing our job. What you experienced during your last meal is not normal and not OK. For that, I am sorry. I am sending you a private message in order to continue to resolve this matter. Thank you again and I hope to hear from you soon! Jake McMillen General Manager

   Decided to give this location a try, always had a great experience at the down town location. Host desk was dis-organized. Even though we had reservations, we waited awhile to be seated when many tables were available. Service staff was friendly but very slow to bring food, drinks and even chips to the table. I think they forgot our order since it took so long to get our food. You would think taco’s would be somewhat simple to prepare.

   Food was excellent. Isaiah was our server and was awesome. Best Mexican food we've had in years around Peoria and we have tried them all.

   I had the chicken enchiladas and they were fabulous. Very moist and flavorful and not overly salty.

    This was our first time at Blanco. Everyone in our party enjoyed their food & drinks! We had great service & I loved that we were able to book a table through Open Table! We can’t wait to return
